Community Change Action

We can win big when directly affected people wield power through community organizing, big ideas, and the ballot box. 🗳💪

👀 Did you catch us on the @TODAYshow !! Kicking off #DayWithoutChildCare with this incredible piece that truly captures why our childcare system is in such a crisis — and why so many of us are showing up today to do something about it.

His Big Ugly Bill will make life exponentially worse for all of us, and the rich richer. We need to immediately reverse the cuts that Republicans enacted, stop the attacks on immigrants, and invest in the supports that all families need to thrive.

[Community Change Action @CommChangeAct]

This week's jobs report confirms what people know: the Trump economy is making life harder for everyday people--harder to find a job and harder to afford basic necessities.

Born and raised in LA County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.

Thank you @RepJayapal for ALWAYS coming through and locking arms with us in the fight for our families. #DayWithoutChildcare

[Community Change Action @CommChangeAct]

Our co-pres, Lorella Praeli, gets it. Child care is unaffordable and our access is under threat.

That’s why we launched #DayWithoutChildCare—to show what happens when care workers step away.

[Community Change Action @CommChangeAct]

Our children, families and providers deserve investments—not cuts. Thank you, @SenWarren, for always having our backs and fighting for the basic needs programs millions need to survive.

[Community Change Action @CommChangeAct]

Thank you, @RepLaMonica, for your solidarity w/ thousands of childcare providers, parents & advocates across the country during our 4th annual #DayWithoutChildcare. Now, more than ever, we need a future where childcare is a priority in every budget and policy decision.

[Community Change Action @CommChangeAct]

Thank you, @RepLaMonica, for your commitment to fighting to change the reality that too many providers and families are facing.

[Rep. LaMonica McIver @RepLaMonica]

Care work is essential—and it’s under attack. At the Day Without Child Care virtual rally with @CommChangeAct, I stood with parents, providers, and advocates to say: invest in care, don’t cut it.

Every child deserves a strong start. Every caregiver deserves dignity.

[CM Christina Henderson @CMCHenderson]

Today I joined a Day Without Childcare hosted by @SPACEsInAction. The Pay Equity Fund is a critical investment in the District’s littlest residents and I am thankful to Mayor Bowser’s promise to forgo cuts to it in the FY26 budget.

[State Senator Jodi Habush Sinykin @WIStateSenJodi]

Today is National #DayWithoutChildCare! Quality, affordable child care is essential for families, employers and Wisconsin’s economy.

Wisconsin families are counting on their legislators to do better & to help stabilize & support the child care industry.

[Rep. Angelito Tenorio @StateRepTenorio]

Today is the Day Without Child Care. Families, providers, educators, and advocates across Wisconsin are calling attention to the urgent crisis in our child care system. Without real investment, working parents are left stranded and kids lose out on the safe, nurturing care they deserve. It’s time to prioritize child care and support the backbone of our economy.

[State Senator Dianne H. Hesselbein @SenHesselbein]

This morning, I stood with parents, caregivers, kids, and community members in Waunakee as we marked the #DayWithoutChildCare. Every family deserves quality, affordable child care, and I’m proud to support our state’s dedicated providers. I thank you all for your hard work!

[CM Janeese Lewis George @CMLewisGeorgeW4]

Proud to stand with @SPACEsInAction, childcare workers, and families for #DayWithoutChildcare.

We need to raise our voices to stand up for Head Start, PKEEP, the Pay Equity Fund, and the strong care economy our community deserves.

[NAFCC @nafcc]

Today, Lenise Parker, @nafcc State Rep for TN, and Yolanda Gibson of Divine Angels are leading the Day Without Child Care Rally at the TN Capitol. They are joined by Senator Charlane Oliver, and fellow FCC Educators to raise their voices for equity, support, in the child care!

[Jonathan Lambert-Melton @lambertmeltonnc]

I joined @domesticworkers for Day Without Childcare with my friend and Durham Co. Commissioner @NidaAllam.

Child care is not a luxury. It is a necessity. It allows parents to work, gives children a strong start in life, and strengthens our economy. #ralpol #wakepol

[Progressive Caucus @USProgressives]

Childcare is one of the biggest cost burdens for American families—right up there with rent or mortgage payments.

But it doesn't have to be a luxury.

Progressives will keep fighting for universal child care. Congress should fund families, NOT billionaires. #DayWithoutChildCare

[Union of Southern Service Workers @RaiseUptheSouth]

This May 12, for #DayWithoutChildCare, we’re raising our voices across NC because the system is in crisis—and families like ours are paying the price.

Without affordable childcare, we can’t work. And without work, we can’t provide. That’s the reality for too many of us.
